MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of World
Diabetes Day, Optos, a leading medical technology company for the design,
development, manufacturing and marketing of retinal imaging devices, is
sponsoring the Optos Diabetes Day on Saturday, November 17th, 2007. On this
one day over 100 eye care practices throughout North America will hold free
diabetes eye screenings that will include the optomap(R) Retinal Exam for
patients that have diabetes or are predisposed to diabetes.

"We are excited to participate in the Optos Diabetes Day. The earliest
signs of diabetes often occur in the periphery of the retina, located at
the back of the eye, without any warning signs," stated Dr. Vincent McMahon
of EyeWorks, Keene, NH. "Annual eye exams are vital for people of all ages,
especially for diabetics as it helps identify early signs of the disease.
The optomap(R) Retinal Exam enables my colleagues and I to view up to 80%
of the retina in a simple, non invasive manner, allowing us to more
effectively detect signs of diabetes that presents in our patient's eyes."

Following are highlights of some Optos Diabetes Day efforts:

-- In Keene, New Hampshire, Dr. Vincent McMahon and his local colleagues

each year making diabetes the leading cause of blindness in adults 20-

74 years of age. Even though this risk exists, the American Academy of

Ophthalmology indicates that only 50% to 60% of diabetics get the

recommended yearly eye exams.
